26. Relação da força muscular de membros superiores e inferiores e índices de gravidade na doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica
Introduction: Individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) present a decrease in peripheral muscle strength, leading to impaired mobility and increased death risk. However, there are a lack of studies that verify if the peripheral muscle strength have relationship with the BODE index scale and fat-free mass. Objectives: To verify the relatio

27. IEC-61850: interoperability and interchangeability between supervision, control and protection equipment using data communication networks / IEC-61850: interoperabilidade e intercambialidade entre equipamentos de supervisão, controle e proteção através das redes de comunicação de dados
Data communication has always been considered as a critical factor in real time operation of electric power systems. This is due to the need for fast and accurate decisions at different locations, from power generation to the user interfaces. With the digital technology, measurement, signals and commands are encrypted into data packets that travels on the su

30. Assistência pré-natal por profissionais de enfermagem no município de Rio Branco - AC: contribuição para o estudo da atenção qualificada no ciclo grávido-puerperal / Prenatal care by nursing professionals in Rio Branco-AC: contribution to the study of qualified care in the pregnancy-puerperal cycle
Every year, 120 million pregnancies occur around the world, in which more than half a million women die due to pregnancy or delivery complications and more than 50 million suffer from serious pregnancy-related diseases or disabilities. Various studies appoint that qualified prenatal care can significantly contribute to the reduction of these rates and to pro

31. Sediment yield in watersheds under different geo-environmental contexts: measured and modelling / ProduÃÃo de Sedimentos em Bacias HidrogrÃficas Sob Diferentes Contextos Geoambientais: Medida e Modelagem.
Sediment yield assessment is necessary in watersheds when it is desired to improve the quality of analysis, contributing for a consistent evaluation of water availability and, therefore, high-quality water resources management. The general objective was to evaluate the sediment yield in watersheds under different geo-environmental contexts. Three small basin

32. A critical analysis of measurement models of export performance
Poor conceptualization of the export performance construct may undermine theory development efforts and may be one of the reasons behind the often conflicting findings in empirical research on the export performance phenomenon. This article reviews the conceptual and empirical literature and proposes a new analytical scheme that may serve as a standard for j

33. Mercury toxicity in the Amazon: contrast sensitivity and color discrimination of subjects exposed to mercury
We measured visual performance in achromatic and chromatic spatial tasks of mercury-exposed subjects and compared the results with norms obtained from healthy individuals of similar age. Data were obtained for a group of 28 mercury-exposed subjects, comprising 20 Amazonian gold miners, 2 inhabitants of Amazonian riverside communities, and 6 laboratory techni

36. Performance of two-dimensional Doppler echocardiography for the assessment of infarct size and left ventricular function in rats
Although echocardiography has been used in rats, few studies have determined its efficacy for estimating myocardial infarct size. Our objective was to estimate the myocardial infarct size, and to evaluate anatomic and functional variables of the left ventricle. Myocardial infarction was produced in 43 female Wistar rats by ligature of the left coronary arter
